Safety should be compared by exact year and trim.

NHTSA stars below are loaded from the official 5-Star Safety Ratings API. Ranges mean tested drivetrains or body variants differ. IIHS uses a separate crashworthiness and crash-avoidance test program.

Loading official NHTSA tests and recalls…

Star ratings apply only to the shown model year and tested variant. They cannot be transferred automatically to another year, trim, body style or build date. Recall count is model-level; use the VIN lookup to see whether a specific vehicle has an unrepaired recall.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Choose Ranger if…

Midsize towing and property projects. This representative U.S.-market model gives Ford shoppers a practical starting point for comparing space, daily use and household operating cost.

Watch: Rear-seat space, fuel, payload and difference from Maverick.
THE OTHER CASE

Choose Artura if…

Exotic weekend and performance use. This representative U.S.-market model gives McLaren shoppers a practical starting point for comparing space, daily use and household operating cost.

Watch: Specialist transport, insurance, consumables and hybrid-system service.
